Ep. 28 Joann Benjamin & Ruth Dismuke-Blakely on the Hippotherapy Conceptual Framework

Chloe Campbell speaks with Joann Benjamin and Ruth Dismuke-Blakely about the Hippotherapy Conceptual Framework (HCF), developed by the American Hippotherapy Association and presented at the ISES Conference 2025. We discuss how this framework integrates equine movement, neurophysiology, and therapy sciences to support occupational, physical, and speech-language therapy, and how the 2024 update strengthens the evidence base for hippotherapy practice and research.
